The sexiest lingerie styles by body type

Brazo-American goddesses, unite.  Any woman can achieve this level of seduction. 

In the wake of lingerie companies' realization that sensuality runs past a size 6, designers have taken great strides in bridging the gap between styles and womens' figure flaws.  Even the barest necessities can be made to flatter wide hips, thicker thighs and what some may consider “too much” cleavage.  The idea is to play up your shape with easy illusions to both conceal and reveal:

Petite  A small and slim figure only seems like an asset ideal; short legs and torso as well as smaller breasts can be frustrating.  For those who desire cleavage without spillage, demi (half) cups accentuate smaller cleavage without heavy pads.  Seamless versions are great for a no-show workwear look, but multi-strapped styles in lace and semi-sheers make this demi anything but demure.  Ultra-sheer mesh teddies and chemises are most flattering on thin builds that need little support. Bikini briefs or thongs are designed with the higher rise needed to visually lengthen legs.  Hipster briefs (or boy shorts) sit low to elongate the torso.    A slip-on stiletto (several versions are offered through lingerie company's websites and catalogs) makes legs look endless, but the intimates alone will do the trick.

Busty  It's an age-old blessing...  and curse.  Those lucky enough to be born with a naturally full bust are often too self-conscious to enjoy their look.  The latest products offer full support with light-as-air fabrics and underwire.  Ipex by Victoria's Secret, proclaimed “The World's Most Advanced Bra”, boasts their graduated padding and optional underwire as offering impeccable support with an ultra-lightweight feel.  While some demi-cups can result in cups runneth over, Balconets offer a half-cup design but with thick, wide-set straps, making them ideal for heavier baggage.  For those insistent on concealing their assets, a variety of minimizers are designed to make bust appear smaller by at least one cup size.

Thick or Curvy  One mistake women with curves make is attempting to overly conceal the parts of their body thought to be out of shape.  Fact is, babydolls and many cami/hipster sets are great at flattering uncomfortable areas while revealing nice amounts of skin.  Flutter panties also offer a sexy look and more coverage than a g-string.  Since bottom curves often mean large busts, take a cue from the recommendations above; many lingerie labels offer several bra styles to flatter any size.

Pear Shapes..  And All Shapes   Corsets, corsets, corsets.  There's a reason why corsetry is hailed for centuries as such a phenomenon.   This look works to create (or show off) a tiny waist, pump up breasts or conceal cleavage (depending on openness of bodice) and can be paired with nearly any stocking or garter belt combo for seriously intimate appeal.  Ooh-la-la.
